How much did it cost them to do the Botswana episode? The Vietnam episode? The North Pole episode? To name but three..........!!

and the 3 40ft lorries they crashed into walls. must of been a few quids worth. id rather see that happen and some other shite prog get the money
About 15 /20 grand for the 3 trucks and trailers :y :y money well spent on that episode ,havent laughed so much in ages  8-) 8-) 8-)

They never did go back and show what happened to the Micra when it came to a stop though  ;D
I think they sold it to my brother for £560 for his daughter to(wreck )drive, only joking ::) ::) ::)

its the childishness that makes it imho. The best programme on tv. For me Bbc s programmes fill my faves list. China, secret life of elephants, coast, oceons all brilliant.
 Also the bottom of the list with all that soap crap. Casualty, holby and as for eastspackers ffs...

Cant fault you.  A lot better than 5th Gear, allthough the latest series is better than the last one.

whilst we pay for in licence fees, dont forget it is sold to to foreign networks and the likes of Dave as well so i would imagine that recoups some of the cost....

Still good value

Dave was UK Gold 2 iirc, thus half owned by BBC Worldwide.  Wonder how much they pay for it ;)


So, as an Alfa man, how do you feel about the episode that started this thread - the alfa one where hammond kept running up back of may whilst being towed?

Hammond was a numpty for buying a crapper, May had a really nice GTV, JC had a cracking 75V6 (have met the owner at National Alfa day) and he trashed it..

I actually think it showed how well they are built, especially the modern stuff, Hammond must have hit May at least 10 times and the back end didn't look distorted at all.

However some of the hardcore Alfisiti were baying for their blood, it was good TV
